It comes powered by a 5.2-liter supercharged V8 that works in conjunction with a seven-speed dual clutch transmission. It also has a carbon fiber driveshaft, high-performance Michelin tires, MagneRide dampers and Brembo 16.5-inch rotors. The Mustang Shelby GT500 also has an electronic line-lock to help you with those burnouts, launch control and apps that make tracking performance more natural than ever.
You’ll be able to add on the aero kit for a more aggressive-looking front end. This will feature a new front air dam and adjustable carbon fiber spoiler. The Carbon Fiber Track Pack comes with 20-inch carbon wheels, a carbon fiber rear wing and Pilot Sport 4S tires plus Recaro leather and suede seats.
